My baby's buttocks are raw. The zinc paste does not stick to the wounds because it seems to be leaking. What should I do?

If your baby's buttocks are raw and the zinc paste isn't staying on the sores, it could indicate that a fungal infection has developed. In this case, it is recommended to use a combination of cortisone cream and an antifungal cream, which can be purchased over the counter at a pharmacy. Mix the two creams together and apply to the affected area twice a day for about 7 to 10 days. If the sores are oozing because of infected bumps or wounds, especially if there is yellow or green discharge, it may be necessary to see a doctor for an antibiotic.
